Spot Plays

[Dahoss]

Going to be doing this from now until the end of the Saratoga Meet. I have done it on another board in the past with success and the exercise has proven to be beneficial to me because it helps me pin down the horses I prefer most over the course of a day and make the most of them, instead of trying to get overly cute with exotics.

The format is simple, the days I'm playing, I'll post the horses I like each day. I'll be betting them, but for the basis of the exercise I'll keep track of them as if I'm just betting $2 to win. Point of it all is to show a positive ROI at the end.

You mean you won't be playing Win/Place on the top 2 favorites ?

Nothing like getting out of the gate fast. Couple of well beaten 2nd's but not close on the win end. On the bright side I got called a sexist and the 2nd person this week told me they want to beat me up. All in all I'd call it a solid day.

Another day, another big fat 0. It's going to happen when you bet higher priced horses. I'm not trying to pick the most winners, I just want to show a positive ROI. Lots of racing to go this summer.
